301  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: when you try to explain people about cryptocurrency do they understand? on: December 18, 2017, 10:48:00 PM
(Un)fortunately, it takes some time to explain to someone how cryptocurrencies work. I always get a lot of question which I'm really content to answer. Not every person understand what I say but it looks like most of them listen to me carefully. I always try to show the benefits of Bitcoin. I was quite surprised that not every person knows that paper money has not value at all! Some of them thought that government has enough gold to cover the value of each bill.
302  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Future of bitcoins on: December 18, 2017, 10:40:58 PM
The future of Bitcoin might be really interesting. I can't wait to see what will happen to banks. Right now, people use banks mostly because they want to store their money in a secure place. In the future, banks might replace exchanges. Some people will probably store their crypto there due to high interest rate or some other things that banks will think of in order to survive. I won't use banks in such case, I think that they are only looking for our money. They simply don't care about their clients.
303  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: will people lose intrest? on: December 18, 2017, 10:32:29 PM
I doubt that people will lose interest in Bitcoin. Even though Bitcoin's transactions are expensive and take a lot of time to confirm, it is still the most popular cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is still a king probably because it was the first cryptocurrency and many people pump its price. There are many interesting altcoins that have different features than Bitcoin. We can't create one cryptocurrency, it is not possible to have all the features in a one package.
304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin survive? on: December 18, 2017, 10:20:32 PM
As we could see, Bitcoin has no problems with surviving its hard time. There were many hard forks and threats that could destroy the Bitcoin but it looks like our community is strong and won't let Bitcoin die. The are a few problems which we have to solve for instance, high transaction fees and legal issues. Some countries still don't know how they should deal with Bitcoin. Fortunately, some of them started to see the potential of Bitcoin.
305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Social Media Influence bitcoin growth? on: December 18, 2017, 09:34:27 PM
It is quite surprising but social media are very important in today's world. A lot of companies focus on public relations and advertising on social media. More and more people become interested in Bitcoin probably due to its increasing value. Personally, I'm fascinated by the idea of cryptocurrencies and that is why I spend a lot of time researching them. I saw a few Bitcoin advertisements on Instagram. Also, some popular people in my country started accepting donations using Bitcoin.
306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The advantages of bitcoin on: December 18, 2017, 08:32:38 PM
Bitcoin has a lot of advantages. Firstly, everyone can use it. Age, nationality, sex don't matter! We can finally get rid of ton of papers when you want to open a bank account. Secondly, you can generate as many addresses as you want. Nobody will now that you own a particular address unless you prove it or use it in a place where you have to expose your identity. Also, it is important that Bitcoin is decentralised and nobody can control it.
307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any way to destroy the bitcoin? on: December 18, 2017, 07:48:51 PM
It is too late to destroy Bitcoin. If governments started to ban Bitcoin in 2012, they wouldn't have had a problem with it now. The only thing that could disrupt the network is 51% attack. Fortunately, this attacks is too expensive to perform. The only thing I would worry about is Bitmain which is the largest manufacturer of ASICs. Currently, there is no competition for them. Lack of it may cause stagnation in releasing new version of their miner.
308  Economy / Speculation / Re: Better Late than Never? on: December 18, 2017, 07:17:36 PM
Many people still don't know whether or not they should invest in BTC. If you had invested in September this year you would have fivefold the money you invested. Due to huge profits many people think that Bitcoin is a bubble. Demand for Bitcoin is increasing because more and more people start to believe that Bitcoin may become a global currency in the future. I personally think that Bitcoin is a new gold, I can't wait to see what will happen to BTC in the next 10 years.
309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to do if Bitcoin Price Crashes on: December 18, 2017, 07:05:12 PM
I doubt we will ever have crash to less than $2000 dollars. Bitcoin has became really popular this year. The only thing that could cause such crash could be global Bitcoin ban which in my opinion is not possible. Even though Bitcoin might be a problem for some people, it is still interesting at worth taking look at. People who invest in Bitcoin now still have a chance to earn a lot of money. I wouldn't be surprised if Bitcoin was worth a few million in the future due to limited supply and enormous demand.
310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Offline Wallets Vs Online Wallets on: December 18, 2017, 06:58:37 PM
I always recommend only offline wallets. Even though online wallets are convenient in use, they aren't as secure as offline wallets. I would recommend a few wallets. For people who don't want to buy a hardware wallet and are going to send a lot of transactions then both Electrum and Armory are a great choice. They are easy to use and have a pretty good documentation. Paper wallet is good when you want to give BTC to someone as a gift. This kind of wallet isn't very durable.
311  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think digital currency will ever replace paper money? on: December 18, 2017, 06:46:46 PM
Before I heard about Bitcoin, I thought that online banking would replace paper money because it is more convenient to use and is safer when you send huge amounts of money. Bitcoin has a chance to be implemented faster than online banking in some countries. I would rather use Bitcoin than depend on the bank which can do whatever it wants to my money.
312  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC is a peace of shit on: December 18, 2017, 06:38:24 PM
Why you all blame Bitcoin? Did you do anything which could help in its future development? Why don't just move to another altcoin? Bitcoin isn't as fast as it used to be but it doesn't mean that we have to abandon it. What we should do is try to make Bitcoin better by for example introducing Lightning Network which by the way is being tested on the Bitcoin's testnet network. Patience is key here.
313  Economy / Speculation / Re: I BUY GOLD OR BITCOIN? on: December 17, 2017, 11:45:48 AM
Even though Bitcoin has no physical value, I would recommend you to invest in it. Gold is a valuable resource but don't you think it's overpriced? There is still plenty of gold which is waiting to be mined so we don't know the exact number of gold which exists. Bitcoin has a controlled supply of around 21 million coins. Nobody can create fake bitcoins or double spend. The only benefit of gold is that it is widely used in jewellery and electronics. Storing gold is more expensive than Bitcoin.
314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sell your house for investment in btc. on: December 17, 2017, 10:30:32 AM
I'm not that crazy to sell my house and everything what I have in order to buy more Bitcoin. I always invest my spare money in BTC but I wouldn't risk my house even if I knew that Bitcoin value would increase. Where would I live? My family lives far away and I don't want to be a trouble for my friends. I still sometimes think about it because of potential profit but I decided a long time a go that I am not going to sell my house. I don't want to end up being homeless.
315  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is not gambling on: December 16, 2017, 11:24:37 PM
Some people consider any kind of investment as a gambling. The same thing goes for Bitcoin. Personally, I think that Bitcoin is a great investment in our future. However, every investment is a bit risky. You can lose your money due to many factors such as lack of experience, bug or even a crash of Bitcoin. I would recommend every person who want to invest in Bitcoin to learn a little about it before they buy it.
316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Difference between Bitcoin and real money? on: December 16, 2017, 10:54:34 PM
There are many differences between Bitcoin and real money. First of all, Bitcoin doesn't have any physical form. For me, it is more convenient to use Bitcoin. Bitcoin is decentralised and independent. No one can create fake bitcoins. Bitcoin is faster than wire transfers but its transactions fees have been increasing recently so I wouldn't recommend it for small, daily payments. This is the biggest flaw of BTC.
317  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in 2018 on: December 16, 2017, 10:39:24 PM
The future of bitcoin is uncertain. In my point of view, in 2018 many countries will ban bitcoin. Many people will not be used bitcoin, so it's price will decrease and a lot of people will worry about that.

That is the most unlike thing that could happen. A lot of people have already invested in Bitcoin so I doubt that for example the United States would have enough courage to ban Bitcoin. China has banned Bitcoin and they won't to make it legal once again. They wanted to lower the Bitcoin price, buy it and then sell it for higher price. Pretty wise, isn't it? I think that Bitcoin will be worth at least $100.000 by the end of 2018.
318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Cash is better than Bitcoin. on: December 16, 2017, 10:18:11 PM
Cash is better only because there are no problems with accepting it beside the fact that there are many different currencies. If I had to choose between online banking and cash I would still use cash because it isn't controlled as much as banking system. Bitcoin partially solves the problem of being monitored. Everyone can create as many wallets as they want and it doesn't cost anything! Also, some people prefer to have their money in a physical form.
319  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin = $1 Million by 2020 on: December 13, 2017, 01:05:55 PM
Bitcoin has surpassed expectations of many people. I always believed that Bitcoin had a bright future and now more and more people are being interested in the concept of cryptocurrencies which will change they way we see money. $1 million is possible and I'm looking forward to seeing that.
320  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do some government ban bitcoin? on: November 21, 2017, 06:24:28 PM
Some governments are afraid of Bitcoin mostly because it brings us revolution to current financial system. If Bitcoin becomes more popular, banks won't be needed anymore.
